Mine is the morning after Jackie gets out of jail and Max comes to see her. I love it when she puts on The Delfonics and is walking towards the kitchen, and Max is just looking at her and you can see him literally falling in love. Robert Forster and Pam Grier have fantastic chemisry.
shareI have so many....
But if I had to pick a favorite it would probably be the scene when Ordell kills Beaumont. The music, the change you see in Ordell's eyes as he puts on his gloves, to what that scene reveals and how it moves the story forward. We now know Ordell is a cold-blooded killer, and why he killed Beaumont, which makes the upcoming story arc with Jackie being the next one caught by the ATF so suspenseful.
I was in CVS a couple weeks ago and that song came on over the radio. I had to look it up since I couldn't get it out of my head, it's called Strawberry Letter 23 by the Brothers Johnson.
I love Quentin Tarantino's taste in music....

I agree with Jenna. The entire conversation between Ordell and Beaumont was true to life and beautifully performed. I almost thought that the actors were improvising, but I understand now that Tarantino's writing is THAT faithful to reality. The dialogue was organic; it was exactly what you'd expect the characters to say and how to say it. Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs and Jackie Brown made me a Tarantino fan, mostly on the strength of the gritty dialogue.
shareI concur.
shareOrdell trying to convince Beaumont to get in the trunk. I like Jackson and Tucker anyway, but that scene was hilarious-- especially considering I knew he's trying to get him in the trunk to kill him later.
shareWhen the two words "The End" come up on the screen. I lost interest at the interaction between BF and RD then when he shot her that capped it off in my opinion. Actually I am not a big De Niro fan to begin with so that didn't help matters.

My favorite scene has to be where Jackie is in the dressing room alone with the money and she looks at herself in the mirror. In that scene Pam Grier's eyes captured the moment perfectly. You can tell Jackie is thinking about her life.
